When I was in the 8th grade, a local community member "Irish John Gore" took me under his wing and encouraged me to ride my bike 100 miles for a fund raiser. There were so many people who supported that journey and had a huge impact on my confidence over the years.
Through the Cal Tri Kids program, young athletes ages 7–17 can compete in sprint triathlon events at no cost. Thanks to generous donors and sponsors, they are removing financial barriers so more kids can swim, bike, and run their way to confidence, community, and lifelong health.
These youth events—spanning six disciplines including triathlon, duathlon, swim-run, and more—have their own age-based divisions, rankings, and awards. Kids aren't competing against adults; they're building their own sense of achievement.
But this incredible opportunity only exists because of people like you. Your donation supports race entries, safety planning, and outreach so families never have to worry about the cost.
Thank you for helping make youth triathlon possible!
